Date Format Not Remaining After External Data Connection Refresh
Jul 9, 2014I have an excel table that connects to an external sharepoint site.
When I refresh (via external data connection), the "start date" and "end date" column formats change. The only way I can correct this is to copy those columns to notepad, and then paste them back into the spreadsheet.
I have several calculated cells based upon these date fields. Once refreshed, the data is incorrect until I copy and paste those dates as stated above.
This removes the functionality of simply "refreshing" the data resulting in a manual process.
Speed Up Refresh Of External Data
Jun 29, 2009I am having some issues using 'refresh all' to update my excel spreadsheet. Basically, it doens't seem to like doing anything greater than 65 queries before it gives me the error "Too many client tasks".
I've written a macro that updates all spreadsheets seperately, but this takes forever (I have approximately 250 worksheets within this workbook). Is there a way to speed this up? I believe the most time consuming part is establishing the connection to the access database. Is there a way to establish the connection to a database, and keep it open until all data has been updated?
Below is the code I am using:
Sub RefreshAll()
Dim e As Double
Dim sht As String
e = 1
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Do
Sheets("All ESNs").Select
Cells(e, 1).Select
sht = ActiveCell.Value
Sheets(sht).Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Sheets("All ESNs").Select
e = e + 1
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
"All ESNs" refers to a worksheet that contains a list of all serial numbers. These serial numbers correspond to the worksheet names.
Button To Refresh External Data
Oct 25, 2007I am trying to set up a button that can be used to refresh data from an external source. The problem is that I'm not sure what to put in the area that I am using the "query" variable
Sub refresh_data(ByVal WS As Worksheet, query As String)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets(WS).QueryTable(query).Refresh
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
what i end up getting is an error saying basically that I am using incorrect data.
Can't Refresh Pivot Table When Using External Data Source
Apr 30, 2014I am using an Excel file (Raw.xlsx) to store my raw data, and take another Excel file (Pivot.xlsx) to make PivotTable from Raw.xlsx
When generating the PivotTable, every works fine. When click [Refresh] in the Raw.xlsx, whatever changes been made in the Raw.xlsx can "sync" to the Pivot.xlsx
However, once I save and reopen the Pivot.xlsx, I can't refresh the PivotTable anymore. I've tried changing Data Source, but it doesn't work.
Automatic Refresh Of Pivot Table On Changes In External Data Source?
Dec 4, 2013I have a pivot table report connected to an external data source (OLAP cube).I want to automatically refresh the pivot table report everytime the OLAP cube data changes.
I know we can use Automatic refresh on open of workbook or time intervals after which to refresh .But i want the auto refresh to work even if the workbook is already open and there is no definite time interval after which the cube is likely to change.SO,by defining intervals for auto refresh i do not intend to waste time refreshing even if there is no change.
There are multiple pivot table reports and pivot charts connected to the same OLAP cube.
Hiding Sheets Causing A Runtime Error On External Data Refresh
Apr 20, 2007I have a spreadsheet which has 3 separate external queries running from worksheet 'A'. My user enters a couple of dates in another worksheet 'B' to supply the date parameters for the query and a macro runs to refresh all of the queries and performs a few calculations.This works fine. The trouble is I don't want the user to be able to view all the data on sheet 'A' only the summary on B. My macro ends up on sheet B but whilst the query is refreshing the raw data is displayed to the user on sheet 'A'. When I hide the sheet 'A' i get a run time error '1004' Select method of worksheet class failed.

Convert Imported Date / Time Data To Date / Time Format?
Jan 2, 2013I have loaded a .csv file in which the first column contains date/times, e.g. 01/12/2012 00:00. How do I now tell Excel (2010) that this is in fact a date/time format? If I select one or more of the cells, click on the Number dialog box launcher and try to pick a suitable format tghe cells resolutely refuse to budge from being text (i.e. left-justified, still allows me to edit the 'seconds' component to a number > 60). Also which data type should I be using? The only one that appears to have a full date/time format listed is Custom (not Date or Time).

VBA - Capture Date As Number In The Script
Sep 23, 2008I have a date in cell A1, eg 21/02/2008 being 21st Feb 2008 (yes i'm a pommie/limie)
This shows as a date in excel, but if I format the cell as a number, excel will display 39499
So Far, So Good.
Now, I wish the date format to remain in excel, but I wish my script to capture the number as 39499
Unfortunately it captures it as "21/02/2008".
How can I convert the captured value of "21/02/2008" to my desired value of "39499"
And be correct for any date encountered (within plus or minus 10 years only)

Capture Date Of Highest Value Of Stock Portfolio?
Apr 23, 2013I am trying to capture the date at which my portfolio was at it's highest. I enter the value of my portfolio in H35. F36 is where I am trying to capture the date at which my portfolio was the highest. If a previous date was higher, leave as is.
This presents a problem of a circular reference, but do not know a way around this.
I have the following formula in F36
=IF(H35>G36,(F37),(F36))
In F37 is todays date
G36
=IF(G36<=H35,(H35),(G36))
H35 is value of my portfolio today
Shorting Big Summary Files Refresh Time?
Mar 24, 2009I'm working on a monster file having a RAW DATA sheet, analysis sheets and a summary sheet which "milks" the relevant outputs into the preset table’s presentation. The point is the Milking is "alive" and not "copy/paste" like such that any new analysis is immediately summarized. It's only an 8M file but it freezes for "computing cells" every 20-30 second for about 30 seconds. This has a good potential for driving a person crazy. Any idea why is it so slow? Any way to set the update-time to longer time intervals or to update only cells which origin has been changed lately?

Date/Time Formula: Pick Up A Date With Time Entry On A Worksheet And Place It Into A TextBox On A UserForm
Jun 17, 2006I am attempting to pick up a date with time entry on a worksheet and place it into a TextBox on a UserForm. Format on the sheet is mm/dd/yyyy h:mm AM/PM. The UserForm is placing the value as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00 AM. here is the
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
If Not Range("dDate").Value = "" Then
TextBox2.Value = Range("dDate").Value
TextBox2.Text = Format(DateValue(TextBox2.Text), "mm/dd/yy h:mm AM/PM")
Else
TextBox2.Value = ""
TextBox2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
"dDate" is the named range where the date is sitting. The format is also set on the TextBox2 exit event. Can anyone see why only the date portion is being transfered with the default 12:00 AM for no time component of the value?

Excel 2007 :: Change Source Workbook For All External References At Same Time But Avoid Browsing?
Jan 7, 2013Need to create Working order (in Excel 2007) for filling machine in my factory. Working order is changeable from day to day and the deference is product quantity. Product quantity in working order [File - Working order] is changing according to the each sales plan [7-Jan-13, 8-Jan-13] - (File Working order is Linked to the appropriate sales plan in this case - [7-Jan-13]).
Anyway, I need to change the source workbook "sales plan" from [7-Jan-13] to [8-Jan-13] by changing source workbook name in red cell [File - Working order] and not to browsing location?
All source workbooks [sales plan 7-Jan-13, 8-Jan-13]are at the same location in the same folder, only difference is the source workbook names. So, is it possible to change source workbook name (File - Working order - red cell) for all external references (File - Working order - green cells) at the same time, and avoid annoying browsing?
Formula To Capture Data In Cells That Are After It
Aug 12, 2009I have a moving average spreadsheet that I am having trouble with. In column F of 'Data for Pivot' Tab, I have a set of data that doesn't begin populating until 101 data points (cell C8 in 'Mov_Avg_Chart' is the input; in this cell F138 of 'Data for Pivot' tab) after data begins populating in Column E of 'Data for Pivot' Tab (in this case data begins populating in Column E in row 38).
What I would like to do is have the data in cells F38 to F137 = the value in cell F138. From there on forward (cells F138 and onwards), I would like the formula to calculate data in the same way as it is currently calculating it. That is, I would like the values in cells F38 to F137 be 0.00110 (in the current example). However, the data will be constantly changing. Thus, sometimes the data in column F will begin at a different cell than cell F138. In essence, I want the formula: when column E begins populating data but column F has not, I want those column F values to equal the value of the first populated value in column F (which is usually numerous cells below this value).
I just can't seem to get this one right after spending considerable time on it. I would appreciate any help you can give on this.

Combobox Data Capture From Other Workbook
Nov 20, 2007how data capturing works, using controls. I try to explain what I mean. I have a userform with a combobox that allows to select data from a worksheet in another workbook (database). Using VBA, I'm asked to define the "source" for the combobox. I don't understand the difference between controlsource and row source because when I close the userform, I find only the first field filled in (column "A"), while I would like the entire row to be copied.I also would like to have an "ok" button to allow me for multiple selection. In other words:
I select the desired data from the combobox
I click on the "ok" button ahd this event should copy the data (entire row) selected via the combobox on my worksheet without closing the userform in order to allow me to select other data on the same session. The row to copy data into is selected using the firstemptyrow method..

Pivot Refresh After ODBC Query Complete Refresh
Jan 4, 2008I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)
